These results should give newcomers to contesting some idea of what to expect when running minimal QRP and limited operating time as I do. Keep in mind that those QRPers with big antenna farms, better locations, and more operating time will have better results than those shown here.

As you can see from the awards and results tables below, I have been less active in contests recently mainly because of other commitments like running our NAQCC as VP until I retired from that in 2014, helping to walk my neighbor's dog, keeping my house and yard in order, shopping, and so forth.

First my personal best score for each different contest I've entered. I've divided the contests into categories roughly depicting the type of contest. An @ sign in the Award column means I have won an award in that contest, either for the listed score or in a different year.

Here are my recent contest results from the previous few years. I have not been doing as much contesting recently as I used to do for various reasons. Sometimes I only enter contests to get my daily streak QSO. I'm not going to list those here. The only contests I still enter seriously are the big DX contests, of course our NAQCC monthly sprints and special sprints as well as a few others from time to time. I'll list all those in which I make more than just a couple QSO's. A (1) in the Notes column indicates an all-time personal best for that particular contest.

2011 WI QSO Party - First place Pennsylvania all categories - (2nd overall QRP out-of-state to N0UR in MN)

NAQCC Monthly Sprints - (First place) 14 times SWA Category from Feb 2005 through Oct 2007, 8 times SWA East division from May 2008 through Sep 2009, 45 times SWA W3 division from Aug 2010 through Jun 2014, 20 times SWA Bug W3 division from Jan 2015 through Jan 2017 (Note: Categories and Divisions were modified over the history of our sprints. I got top score overall among all SWA participants 23 times - 18 times if GAIN participants are included)
